In "An Introduction to R" Version 3.3.1, in "9.2.1 Conditional execution: if statements", the last paragraph is the following: There is a vectorized version of the if/else construct, the ifelse function. This has the form ifelse(condition, a, b) and returns a vector of the length of its longest argument, with elements a[i] if condition[i] is true, otherwise b[i].
In fact, ifelse(condition, a, b) returns a vector of the length of 'condition', even if 'a' or 'b' is longer. ______________________________________________ R-devel@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-devel
